how specifically will you bring down the deficit? there's certainly a lot of room to put some and a lot of imptous for them to put some meat on the bones. >> okay. as we look for the meat, let's talk about something we've talked about that before that being swing states. romney has really whittled the president's lead to two percentage points. these are virginia numbers now. this is a poll released by "the wall street journal" nbc news, so a two-point lead for obama down from five points last month. let me show you one more graphic. you're going to see florida numbers. similar story there. now a one-point lead for obama. down from four points in september. could, candy, could this debate tonight really, you know, represent romney's best chance to catch fire? >> certainly. and i don't think it's his best chance. i think it's the beginning of his best chance, if that makes sense. i don't think we've seen -- we have seen times when debates have changed things. but there still is a lot of time and two more debates for these guys plus a v

all those same polls that show president obama leading and claims to correct the bias, turning romney deficits into commanding romney leads. the idea behind is it simple. all polls base the outcome on what pollsters believe the electorate will look like, how many democrats versus how many republicans they think will actually turn out. getting that partisan makeup wrong can tilt the predictions. the people that don't believe the polls say this time, pollsters think the 2012 electorate will look a lot like 2008 and this they say is wrong. notice i said this time. back in 2004, democrats complained that the polls which showed george w. bush leading were overestimating the number of republicans who would vote. they were wrong. the polls were right. in 2000, al gore said don't believe the polls, polls showed him losing narrowly. polls were right. in fact, it's hard to find an example of the polls on average getting it wrong unless you go back to 1948, when they predicted thomas dewey defeated president harry truman. cnn political contributor ari fleischer joins us. he's an occasionally unpaid commu

so that added to the national deficit. and one other thing that we should talk about in terms of the national deficit, part of it is that we're not bringing in as much revenue as we should be bringing in to pay for all the things, the services and programs that the american people continue to desire. there's no question under this president that we've seen, you know, the most significant budget cuts also in the history of country. discretionary spending is at its lowest in 60 years. taxes are also at their lowest. but the one thing that the democrats have not done, we haven't walked away from the table. we haven't pointed fingers and said it's their fault. we're all in this together. it's time republicans roll up their sleeves and come to the table so we can fix this problem and solve our many other great challenges before the end of the year and the american people can get back to work. that's what they desire us to do. >> i think both of these presidential candidates are gearing up for their one presidential debate in oc
